The heavens begin from Pingyang City

Due to the prosperity of martial arts in this world, as one of the main forces of the imperial court, the six gates have long been separated from the daily administrative system and become a separate system.

In addition to Sima Shi, the chief arrester of the six gates, the half-step Dharmakaya Grand Master, and the eight divine arresters, each major city also has a gold medal arrester, a silver medal arrester, a purple seal chief, and a green seal chief.

Taking Zhou County as an example, there is a Yinzhang head catcher and two Qingzhao head catchers sitting in the six gates of Yedu, the county. The former is a master of exterior scenes, and the latter two are half-step exterior scenes. Several of them are under his jurisdiction. Each county also has a governor with nine orifices to guard its head.

It can be said that in terms of the strength of the middle and lower levels as well as the collection and mastery of intelligence from various places, Six Gates far surpasses any top power.

Of course, the cohesion is far less than that. After all, many warriors join the Six Gates just to get more resources or skills.

Hong Yan was one of the two Qingshu bosses in Yedu, a master of half-step location shooting, so Jiang Yao directly called him Hong Qingshu.

"Ha ha."

Hong Yan laughed and said, "Young Master Jiang, you are so polite. Mr. Hong came to the door rashly to disturb me. I still need Young Master Jiang not to blame me!"

"where!"

Jiang Yao said politely: "Sir Hong Qing, please take a seat."

Then he picked up the teapot and added a cup of tea for him.

Hong Yan was not polite and sat directly on the chair next to him, picking up the teacup in the water.

Only then did Jiang Yao smile and say, "I wonder why Professor Hong Qing came to visit you this time?"

Hong Yan took a sip of tea and put down the tea cup in his hand. He did not answer directly, but asked with a smile: "Looking at the remaining aura fluctuations around him, did Jiang Shaoxia just have sex with someone else?"

Seeing the other party knowingly asking questions, Jiang Yao couldn't help but smile in his heart. He didn't believe that as almost the most powerful intelligence organization in the world, the other party would not know about Wang Zai's visit. Moreover, the Wang family was famous for their righteousness and righteousness, so they would definitely hide it. But the other person’s perception.

But since the other party asked, Jiang Yao smiled and said: "It's nothing, it's just that Brother Wang Zai from the Wang family came to visit just now. His hands were itchy and he had a fight."

"Oh, it turns out to be Shouzheng Sword Wang Zai."

Hong Yan showed a hint of surprise, and then said: "I heard that he has mastered the Nine Swords of the Saint of the Wang family and the unyielding power of Haoran's righteousness. I'm afraid it won't be long before his ranking on the list will rise a few places, and it will increase as time goes by. It’s getting stronger and stronger as time goes by.”

"really."

Jiang Yao nodded and said, "The Wang family's awe-inspiring righteousness and the Nine Swords of the Saint are indeed extraordinary."

"This is the advantage of these disciples of big forces."

A look of emotion appeared on Hong Yan's face: "There is no shortage of Kung Fu resources. As long as your cultivation reaches a certain level and you step into the martial arts world to hone your skills, your strength will improve rapidly."

"Unlike casual cultivators like us, we have to earn skills, resources, etc. by ourselves. By the time we finally get these, we may have already established our foundation, or we may be too old and have missed the best time to break through. From now on, we have no hope of success."

He himself is such a casual cultivator. If he didn't rely on the skills and resources of the Six Gates, he might not be able to step into the outdoor scene. Even so, because of the problem of foundation and potential, the chance of going further is slim.

"really."

Jiang Yao nodded in agreement. When he was honing his sword skills in Yedu, he also met all kinds of martial arts warriors. The path of cultivation for casual cultivators was indeed extremely difficult.

However, he already roughly knew the other party's purpose of coming to him this time.

Sure enough, as soon as Jiang Yao finished speaking, Hong Yan said, "Young Master Jiang, are you willing to join the Six Sects?"

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Jiang Yao to answer, Hong Yan said directly: "I know that people like Jiang Shaoxia are high-spirited, but the location is no better than others, and there is no support from a big force behind it. It is difficult to overcome this difficulty in cultivation. , many of the heroes who were on the list in the past were stuck on the half-step location, and it was difficult to take a step forward."

"If Jiang Shaoxia joins the Six Sects, depending on his position, he will not only be able to obtain secret books, elixirs, sharp weapons, gold and silver, various intelligence and other resources to assist him in his cultivation, but he will also be able to receive guidance from experts within the Six Sects and a training environment. It can be said that they are second only to the disciples of those top forces."

"And if Young Master Jiang travels around the world and provokes some big forces in the future, the Six Gates will also provide you with protection."

"sounds good."

Jiang Yao nodded, but he also understood that unless he caused little trouble or showed enough value, the Six Doors would not fall out with these big forces for him.

Among them, what he valued most was the information on the six doors.

He can't stay in Yedu all the time, or he will need to travel around the world soon, looking for opponents, and sharpening his martial arts, and this requires knowing the intelligence of various places at all times.

As an organization that relies on the imperial court, Liumenmen has its spies from all over the country, and it also cultivates its own intelligence personnel. It can be said that its intelligence capabilities are far stronger than those of other major forces.

but

Jiang Yao asked directly: "If I join the Six Sects, what do I need to do?"

Sensing Jiang Yao's intention to move, Hong Yan's face showed a hint of joy, and he said gently: "Young Master Jiang, you are ranked tenth on the list of people. You are very powerful. It is very likely that you will directly become the governor's head catcher, or even the Qing Professor." It’s not impossible to catch the head.”

"Of course, I also know that strong people like you, Young Master Jiang, usually travel around the world to find opponents to hone their martial arts. Within the six gates of my house, there are special agents such as the 'Troublemaker' and the 'Wind Catcher' who are responsible for Patrolling various places and picking up on lawlessness in various places is just right for you."

‘This seems to be the position of the young monk Meng Qi in the original work, which is not bad at all. ’

However, Jiang Yao remembered that these positions required a nod from the capital city to fill them.

Thinking about this, Jiang Yao looked at Hong Yan and asked, "If I join the Six Sects and hold these positions, do I need to go to Shendu again?"

"Indeed, Young Master Jiang is smart."

Hong Yan nodded and said: "When it comes to the level of the governor arresting the head, he usually guards one place and has great power. If evil people are allowed to take charge, it will inevitably affect the image of the court. The spies have many secrets in their hands, so they naturally need to enter the divine capital to be interviewed and inspected by the divine arresters from the headquarters."

Got it, let’s go to trial!

Jiang Yao nodded, thinking about the pros and cons of joining the Six Doors.

With the ability to travel across the world and the presence of the Lord of Six Paths of Reincarnation, he has no shortage of skills and resources. Like Xiao Meng in the original work, he is mainly coveted for the powerful intelligence capabilities of the six gates.

Of course, Xiao Meng also coveted the Six Doors' qualification to write reviews and give nicknames to the characters on the list. He wanted to get inside and change himself a nickname that fit his style of painting a swordsman in white.

When Jiang Yao was pondering and hesitating, Hong Yan smiled and said: "This matter is of great importance. It is normal for Jiang Shaoxia to be undecided for a while. There is no need to rush to answer, you can think about it slowly."

"In that case, I would like to thank Hong Qing for teaching me."

Jiang Yao also temporarily gave up his plan to make a decision directly and will think about it later.

After chatting with Hong Yan for a while, Jiang Yao's discussion with him turned to the path of cultivation.

Hong Yan, as a veteran half-step exterior scene expert, has never been able to communicate internally and externally and step into the exterior scene, and he does not practice any peerless magic skills.

But he had his own unique insights into the period from the enlightenment stage to the half-step location, which benefited Jiang Yao a lot.

Jiang Yao has the inheritance of two worlds. He has a high level of swordsmanship and practices peerless magic skills such as the "Eight-Nine Mysterious Skills". Although his cultivation is not as good as Hong Yan's, many insights give him a feeling of sudden enlightenment.

At the beginning of the discussion with Jiang Yao, Hong Yan just wanted to win over him, with the thought of giving condescending advice.

After all, no matter how powerful Jiang Yao was, in Hong Yan's eyes, he was just a warrior who had just completed his mastery of the world within his seven orifices.

But as time passed, all the contempt in his eyes dissipated, and instead he was immersed in it.

After the discussion was over, both of them felt that their trip was well worth it.

Hong Yan couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Sure enough, there is no one with false reputations. Anyone who can be on the list should not be underestimated, especially a young and powerful person like Jiang Yao who can become the top ten in the list.

After the people from the Six Gates left, in the next few days, except for the Huanhua Sword Sect, all the famous forces in Yedu sent people to contact Jiang Yao.

Most of them wanted to win over him, a casual cultivator, and let him become a guest minister of his own power, but they were all rejected by Jiang Yao.

And after consideration, Jiang Yao still refused Hong Yan's invitation and did not join the Six Doors.

After careful consideration, he felt that he had too many secrets and was still not suitable to join the Six Doors.

After all, Jiang Yao is different from Meng Qi. Meng Qi's family is the Shendu Su family, which is a die-hard supporter of the Shendu Zhao family.

Even though he was sent to Shaolin for refuge because of his family's dirty work, his father and family still supported him, and Shendu would turn a blind eye to him because of this relationship, so that he could avoid entering Shendu. He became a wind-catching agent of Qingzhi rank, and his activities were very free, with almost no restrictions.

Ordinary casual cultivators like Jiang Yao who have no background join Liumen. If they want to hold a similar position, they may have to go to Shendu to study. Only after passing the inspection by the headquarters staff can they be awarded similar positions, and there will be various restrictions later. , it’s too much trouble, and it’s not worth it for the information.

Therefore, Jiang Yao rejected Hong Yan's invitation to join the Six Doors after consideration.

As for the intelligence issue, the best option is to find a local intelligence organization to buy it, and his friends are all top forces in various places. When they reach their sphere of influence, they can also rely on the intelligence network of the forces behind their friends.

As time went by, the popularity of the list slowly dropped, and Jiang Yao's life returned to calm.

And he was neither impatient nor impatient, and carried out his practice step by step in the small courtyard.

Practice the "Eight-Nine Mysterious Skills", explore and condense the acupoints, and practice the eighth acupoint; understand the "Tianwen" sword technique to deepen your control over this outdoor-level sword technique.

Occasionally, Wang Zai would come to Jiang Yao for a fight when he had new insights into his family's righteousness and the Nine Swords of the Saint.

Jiang Yao did not refuse. Although Wang Zai was not as strong as him, the peerless magical skills passed down from his family had some merits, which allowed Jiang Yao to gain more martial arts knowledge and enhance his own foundation.

They are both young people, and after going back and forth, the relationship between the two has become much closer.

As for Qinglian Young Master Liusu, it is said that he left Huanzhou after the battle with Jiang Yao and began his training career of traveling around the world, drinking wine and poetry, which made Jiang Yao quite regretful.

Jiang Yao was still looking forward to fighting against the opponent of Huanhua Sword Sect's Immortal Immortal Sword and Qinglian Master Liusu again.

In this leisurely cultivation life, several months passed by in a flash.

Until that day, Jiang Yao was reading the ancient chapter of 'Tianwen' in the courtyard. Suddenly his mind moved, and the next moment he felt in a trance.

‘Is the reincarnation mission coming again? ’

A thought emerged in his mind. When Jiang Yao came back from his trance, he found that he had appeared in the Six Paths of Reincarnation Square.

The ground in front of you is still a white marble square, surrounded by various statues of mythical beasts, the sky is filled with various fairy auras, and the Six Paths of Reincarnation space still looks like a fairyland.
